A Shout Out For My Student S.A. !

"Like all rites of passage, the death of a father tests our strength. In the worst of circumstances- the loss can propel some to become despondent or to self-destruct. In the best it can inspire a new appreciation for life and move us with a sense of urgency to make the most out of our lives." Neil Chetick

Here's to S.A. whose Dad died early today. I admire you because you came to school anyway. I can't imagine dealing with such a heavy blow. Life- what a bummer it can be at times. I hope you liked the wall mural the class created to lift your spirits. You and 'your Dad in heaven' are in our prayers ! Posted by The Washington Teacher.
